As a Texan, I can absolutely attest to this

I work with my hands so if my hands are covered in grease or dirt or whatever I wash my hands before taking a piss. I do wash my hands after as well.

I get fucked in the ass by enough things, I don’t need to Nazi’s doing it too

Oak tree. Destroys slabs like no other.

Desktop for gaming or any intense programs, laptop for studying and other browsing I want to do on the couch, phone I use for most chatting at work and with family and friends and looking things up on the go and doom scrolling. Also, phone has lots of audio books

Did way too many drugs and dropped out

11 years sober and hoping to graduate this semester

Red Lights or Leaves of Grass.

Semi related: I’m studying for a Linux certification and at the end of each chapter they have 10 practice questions with answers in the back of the book. Almost every time, the explanations of the answers get shorter until there’s basically just the answer by question 10. It feels like they just got tired of working

Las Vegas doesn’t give a fuck how drunk you are to enter the airport. Literally had to guide and push my drunk coworker through TSA. I’m not sure if he even remembers getting on the plane.

I’ll reiterate what most have said. They’re not a reoccurring problem and you forget about them after a bit. As for direct contact with the anus, depends on how your body is shaped. If it’s puckered in, then it won’t. If it’s flush with the curve of your inner crack, then it will. I never really paid attention to it.

Zombies?

That’s very possible. I haven’t done in-depth research on it.

Addict/alcoholic 11 years sober. I got sober at a rehab and stayed sober through Alcoholics Anonymous. First, there’s a difference between chemical dependence and addiction. Often these things go hand in hand. Chemical dependence means your body will go through withdrawals if you stop taking in the substance. Something like weed has no chemical dependence aspect, but you can still be addicted to it. Heroin and alcohol can have heavy chemical dependence, and you can be addicted to those.

What AA teaches is not that alcohol is bad. Alcohol is a solution to the problem, but the solution no longer works. The base problem is I wanted to change the way I feel. AA creates a new way to change the way you feel in a healthy way.

If you look at it from that aspect, what you’re replacing is how you change how you feel. Personally, between ADHD and addiction, I very much display addictive behaviors to other things. Whether that’s hyperfixation or addiction, I’m not sure.

What I do know, is that I have no moderation to mind and mood altering substances. If they came out with a miracle pill and said, take one and your addiction will be gone forever, I’d ask for 2.

I mainly watch it on my Roku TV and it is TERRIBLE. Idk if they’ve updated it in years.

I can see this being accurate. I’ve seen it where cars are jammed up before the road narrows and free flowing by the time the road actually narrows. The largest road block (pun intended) to this that I see is driver competency, and people letting them in.

I do machine repair in the evening shift. If nothing is broken, I generally don’t have much to do. They don’t bitch too hard because they know if shit goes down, I’ll work 16 hrs on a Saturday to get it working. I have access to a metal mill and lathe and spend a lot of down time learning and creating personal projects on it. Hell, I built a wooden bedframe and no one said a thing.

Krogers brand Mac n cheese is the best

Well my 250lbs upstairs neighbor makes the ceiling creak and groan, but the jackhammering they did to fix the slab on the apartment behind mine rattled my bed.

I have a headband that has Bluetooth headphones in them can’t stand in the ear ear buds

My parents rent out a room to a traveling nurse since my brothers and I moved out, the space was just going to waste. I’m not positive on what she pays, but I think it’s around $500.

My parents and grandparents own rent houses. They’re active property managers. Most fixes they do themselves. My summers growing up were working on them.

I think the difference between what they do and the corporate owned apartment I’m staying in is the “personal touch” (for lack of a better term). When the owners have never even seen the property, they see renters as numbers on paper instead of people.
